Title IX is the most commonly used name for the federal civil rights law in the United States of America that was passed as part (Title IX) of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government.
Title IX responsibilities can result in false allegations that nevertheless result in serious consequences before a person is proven guilty, including school suspension and potential expulsion from degree programs. School administrators sometimes have failed to protect the rights of the accused.
Title IX also bars discrimination based on disability. In fact, the scope of this law applies to everything from discrimination to sexual harassment, sexual assault, bullying, cyberbullying, retaliation, stalking and violence.
